SOBE BURGER

Miami-Style Smash Burgers

SHIFT MANAGER

Kentish Town, Camden, London | 15.00/hr

FULL-TIME

ABOUT SOBE BURGER

SoBe Burger is one of the UK's fastest-growing smash burger franchises, bringing Miami vibes and seriously good food to the high street since 2019. With 15+ locations across the country and more opening all the time, we're on a mission to serve perfectly caramelised smash patties dripping with signature sauces — and we're just getting started.

Our Kentish Town, Camden location is a brand new opening, and we're building a tight, talented team from the ground up.

THE ROLE

As Shift Manager, you'll be the person in charge on your shifts — running the floor, leading the crew, and making sure every customer leaves happy. When the Store Manager isn't in, the store is yours to run.

This is a real step up from crew. You'll have genuine responsibility and the autonomy to make decisions — from keeping the kitchen moving at pace to handling customer situations on the spot.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Leading the team during your shift — keeping pace, maintaining quality, and holding standards
• Opening or closing the store, including cash management and end-of-day procedures
• Ensuring every order meets SoBe's food quality and presentation standards
• Handling customer feedback and complaints confidently and professionally
• Keeping the store clean, safe, and compliant with food hygiene standards throughout your shift
• Supporting stock management — flagging low levels and minimising waste
• Briefing and motivating crew at the start of each shift
• Being the first point of escalation for crew during your shift

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Some experience in a fast food, QSR, or fast casual environment — you know how a busy kitchen and service floor works
• You've supervised or led a small team before, even informally — people naturally look to you when things get busy
• Calm under pressure — a Saturday evening rush doesn't faze you
• Reliable and accountable — if you're running a shift, you own it
• A genuine love of food and pride in what you serve
• Food Safety Level 2 desirable — we'll support you in getting there if not
• Flexible availability including evenings and weekends

THE PACKAGE

• £14.00– £15.00 per hour, depending on experience
• 40 hours per week
• Free meal on every shift
• 50% staff discount when off shift
• Auto-enrolment pension with 3% employer contribution
• 28 days holiday pro-rata
• Enhanced sick pay — above statutory

WHY JOIN SOBE?

SoBe is growing fast and we promote from within. This role is a genuine launchpad — if you're good, we'll back you. We're not looking for someone to clock in and clock out; we want someone who gives a damn about the food, the team, and the customers.

Kentish Town is a new site for us — you'll be part of building something from scratch, which is a rare opportunity at this stage of a brand's growth.
